LEASE FINANCING DEFINITIONS

100% Financing Available - Leasing allows you to add all soft costs of a purchase into the lease including freight, training, warranties, etc. Building leases include site preparation, electrical work, concrete, plumbing, etc.

Succession Planning – If you are planning retirement, an equipment lease can be used to reduce your income tax liability and then the residual (buyout) of the leased asset can be assigned to the next generation operator.

Sale/Leaseback - Any equipment you have purchased during the tax year can be sold to us and leased back to you, giving you all the benefits of leasing.

Residual Value - This is the expected value of the asset at the end of the lease term. It is typically expressed as a percent of the original lease price. For example, leases are commonly offered with 10%, 20% or 30% residual value. If your lease purchase is $100,000, and set up on a 3-year schedule with a 20% residual, that means you could then purchase the asset for $20,000.

STRUCTURING TAX LEASES VS. NON-TAX LEASES

Returning the Asset Outright

Buy it at a Residual Value

Renew the Lease

In a non-tax lease, you effectively buy the asset. It may have a very nominal or residual value.
